How to survive the flight to Swords?
We’ve rounded up all the info you need to make your journey an enjoyable experience. Follow our insider tips and you’ll be cruising through airport security and exploring Swords in no time flat.What to pack in your hand luggage:

  • Flying can be a stress-free experience if you bring the right things. Firstly, you’ll want a few basic toiletry items, such as a toothbrush and lip balm, a fresh set of clothes and a few magazines. Next, make room in your carry-on bag for your laptop, a charger, your medications and maybe a comfy neck pillow too. Lastly, and most importantly, be sure to take your passport, travel papers and some cash.

Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:

  • Squeeze all your full-sized bottles of shampoo and conditioner in your checked baggage. Any liquids or gels in your carry-on suitcase larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) will be confiscated by authorities. Sharp or pointed objects, like your Swiss Army knife, and dangerous goods which are explosive or flammable, such as aerosols and fuels, are also banned.

What to wear on a flight:

  • Comfort really should be your main priority when deciding what to wear during your flight. Consider your footwear with care too, as swollen feet are a common side effect of flying. Slightly roomy, flat shoes work well.
  • The result of sustained periods of inactivity, deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a serious condition that can affect some passengers during long-haul flights. But the good news is there are ways to reduce your risk of developing it. Stay well hydrated, walk around the cabin as often as you can and wear compression socks to help improve your circulation.

How to get through airport security fast when flying to Swords?
Being prepared before your flight will make your trip to Swords a pleasure. Here are some handy hints for a stress-free journey past security:

  • Airport security personnel first need to see that you have a valid ID and matching boarding pass before you can proceed any further. Have them within easy reach, ready for inspection.
  • The X-ray machine comes next. Empty your pockets and remove anything metal that is likely to set off the scanner’s alarm. This includes items like earphones or headphones, as well as your coat or jacket. They’ll need to be placed on the conveyor belt for screening.
  • For just a few moments, you’ll have to unplug from the digital world. Your phone, tablet and any other electronics will also need to go through the scanner.
  • Remove liquids and gels from your carry-on bag. They often need to be sent through the X-ray scanner separately. Each item should be no larger than 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) and everything must fit in a quart-size (one litre), clear zip-close bag.
  • There’s a good chance you’ll be required to take your shoes off for scanning, so wearing slip-on shoes is always a good idea.
  • Airlines won’t allow any sharp items or pocket knives in the cabin. If you need to bring these kinds of items, pack them in your checked luggage.
